No. Nigeria is a Godforsaken country.

God has blessed us with all manner of natural resources that if utilized well we should be richer than Dubai and many other current first world countries who built their own society from a desert. But Nigerians are foolish and selfish that's why we can never move foward.

We will, only when we change our mindset. America has gone through a lot of tough times before it becomes the world power today.

And also, we need to stop tribalism. That's one of the major challenges we have in this country. 👌👌

if you don't clamor for Nigeria disintegration, you are wasting your time. Nigeria can never be better except we break up.

When?

Do you think your mind will ever be decolonized
Free from colonial mentality
Self confident
Believing that the European civilization of 2023 is not the best that man can do
Believing that that best is still far away

And Nigeria will be part of it

There is no nation without people
People are What is in their minds

So with what is in YOUR mind
Your mindset
Do you see yourself contributing to a better Nigeria?

We shouldn't be like Europe
We should be like ourselves
We will overtake them and do better

Why should we be like them?

You need to clarify what you mean by governed along ethnic lines what does that mean?

Yes

With proper planning, we can be as develop as Europe, though is going to take lots of years and trillions of naira to achieve because we are really far behind right now.

There's no proper planning in most part of Nigeria right now

I'm not talking about a future civilization. I'm talking about an average European country like Turkey even. Just the level of their current development.
I believe I have the mindset to help build a better Nigeria. I'm currently doing it by bringing money home and building property in Nigeria. In future I want to help make political decisions

That's why Africa is not stable

Why lump people of different cultures, traditions, religions, together...

Have you heard of any issues between Lesotho and SA and also Swaziland...?

But I blame the leaders of SE for not seeing why their region should be autonomous...

Smaller countries are better run...now...at worse they could ask for confederacy like European union if they want to gain from trade and population.

Belgium is not a Germanic tribe, Netherland and Switzerland have Germanic some Germanic tribes living in those countries. Austrians are 100% Germanic

Nigeria needs to divide. Population explosion, especially from the North, whilst economic activities remain largely stagnant, is the bane. Looks like our politicians are unable to manage such a large population as ours; so let's divide into at least 5 countries.

Yes, European nations are ethnic for the most part. But multi ethnic countries like South Africa came close to being fully developed. The Europeans in South Africa are multi ethnic, Afrikaans and British diaspora. They fought 2 bitter wars and still came close to making that country a first world country with nuclear power.
Multi ethnic countries can develop if the constituent states are homogeneous and autonomous. Like Scotland or catalonia

U mean leaders put their by the Nigerian state? If South East is Automonos how many of those leaders would survive?

Would hope be governor? Enugu governor?

There has been moves to control who emerges as leaders in South East since 1970 by the Nigerian state

You made it seem as if Belgium and Netherland are 100% Germanic.

Only Austria is 100% Germanic.

This is the reason the politicians are not accountable...they steal to death...

...the country is too big for a bla*k person to manage...

All this gain in diversity is silly as could have been seen..

Or tell me where diversity has helped this country?

I'm talking about being developed. It's not about being proud proudful of who we are. I'm talking clean streets, security, industries etc.
Re: Do You Think Nigeria Will Ever Become As Developed As Any European Country? by GanagiBitrus: 9:49am On Jul 12, 2023
This divisions especially along Tribal lines is so massive that it is impossible to imagine that we will ever be united as one to build a great nation.

Your question is vague and meaningless
What do you mean by saying Turkey is "average" by what measure?
What is development be clear what you mean
Are you talking political,economic,spiritual or what? How do you determine who is average?
You have not really thought this through
Man has been developing for thousands of years and will never stop
European countries are not all the same
Nigeria is on its own journey
Development is not about money and building property it is mindset and your mindset needs development

When you have a common enemies u become United

Which is why I proposes years ago we would have used Bakasi against Cameroon to unit Nigeria

That conflict would have United us

Take out the white and Indians and see the crack among blacks begin to show

There is a reason America fights external war always

I agree, but this cut across Igbo leadership...

Some elders like billion Arthur Eze and others will never support any autonomy because of what they gain from the FG..
